Some people prepare for months to get their driver’s license and may drive for years without incident. However, we all know people who do not take the rules of the road as seriously as they should and are even a danger to themselves and others when behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Once you have passed the tests necessary to obtain a Florida driver’s license, the only requirement is to obey the rules of the road and drive safely. If you are an unsafe driver or ignore the laws of the road, you could very easily lose your privilege to drive in Florida. If this happens, your life will be severely affected. Just think how often you drive and how many things you need your car for. Not being able to drive would be absolutely devastating to your day-to-day life.

Driver’s licenses in Florida can be suspended (taken away temporarily) or revoked (taken away permanently) for a variety of reasons.

Your Florida driver’s license can be revoked if you:

· Commit a felony involving a motor vehicle

· Get a DUI

· Leave the scene of an accident that result in injury or death

· Get three reckless driving tickets in one year

· Are cited for three major traffic offenses or 15 smaller ones within a five-year period.

· Drag race on the highway and get caught

· Don’t meet vision requirements to have a license
